Andrew Lippa, Norbert Leo Butz - How It Ends lyrics

I've seen this all before
When I was just a child
I met a witch who took a bow
And showed me how it ended

We stood here on the shore
The air was sweet and mild
With disbelief implausibly suspended

And in my child's imagination, I remember you
Though, I didn't know if we
Were foes or friends
But now you're standing here
I see the vision coming clear
I know exactly how this ends

It ends with you it ends with me
It ends the way a story's
Ending is supposed to be a bit insane
A touch of pain adeptly told
Yet uncontrolled

It ends with faith it ends with love
It ends with water in the
River and the sun above part epic tale
Part fire sale but all sincere
And standing here

I know I wasn't perfect
I know my life was small
I know that I pretended that I knew it all

But when you tell my story
And I hope somebody does
Remember me as something bigger than I was

It ends with sons it ends with wives
It ends with knowing when the pavement
Bends we find our lives

So let it come and let me go
Show me the waves and let them flow
It all ends well

This much, I know
